Random Pictures

Having a blog, I have realized I have a lot of annoying habits, like wanting to start every post with 'So,.....' Then, I lecture myself about how that is a stupid way to start a post. I also have realized that for the life of me, I cannot spell the word 'definetly.' See, I just got flagged. How the heck to you spell that, anyway? Clearly I need help. Serious help. Anyway, that being said, here are a few random pictures from the last few crazy weeks to go with my random blog post. So....

Fortunately, Katie still fits in the Mai Tai carrier I have. It's a lifesaver!

James decided to help himself to my mascara.

Katie, pre-cast, eating blueberry pancakes. Mmmm....

Some things from my garden...we've been eating stuff out of the garden almost every night.

A few flowers from the garden...aren't they pretty?

One last random thing...I made what is quite possibly the largest batch of salsa ever made today. I think I have about six quarts, maybe more. Our neighbor is growing fifty tomato plants, so I will be up to my elbows in tomatoes for the next two months. There is a cloud of garlic, cilantro and onion fumes hanging around our house right now. Now all we need, as Jeff kindly reminded me, is some chips to go with the salsa. Sounds like a trip to the store is in order.

Kids Commentary!!

T: James, if you keep practicing your bow and arrow, you can get really good at it and be an Indian when you grow up. Indians are really interesting.

K: (to Chappy) You should enter a contest for Crazy, because you'd probably win.

T: I have two friends who are twins, Wi-wee and Wee-uh. But they aren't attached. Remember we watched a show about that?

T: Uh, Mom...problem! I can't poop because I didn't eat enough food.

J: Don't bring those blankets Mom. I germinated them. (meaning he coughed all over them when he was sick)

T: (after seeing a very short man) I thought he was a kid, but he is not. He is the most medium sized dad I have ever seen.

T: Chocolate is my favorite color. (that's my boy!!!)

K: Mom, come look at my hair! It looks like Justin Beaver!

K: I don't like peaches. The fur gets on my skin and makes me itchy.

T: I almost cried (on the first day of school) but then I didn't hear a peep from my tears. They are right behind my eyes, right Mama?

T: I made a best friend at school!

Me: Great! What's his name?

T: I don't know.

J: This place is like Disney Land for flies. (under the food tent at the Grange Fair)

Me: Look for the inflatable cow.

T: That's debatable, and you need an air compressor to blow it up.

T: I got a hosta leaf for my beetle!

Me: That's actually a morning glory leaf.

K: What'd you expect, an afternoon leaf?

T: I need a boy purse. It needs to have two pockets, one for cash, one for money. That's the idea. Yep!

K: Cash and money are the same thing. The paper stuff, and the metal circles are all money.

T: (sitting on his throne...aka the toilet) Mom, I'm gonna tell you what I want for my birthday, and I hope it doesn't cost too much bucks.

J: (playing the card game 'War' with himself) Hey, so far I'm winning!

Me: You're playing against yourself, of course you're winning.

J: Well, this pile is the one that is winning.

T: (watching Yukon Men) I could catch a wolverine someday when I'm a grown up, right mama? I would just make it a whole bunch of cookies for it, and then a few hours later when it is eating the cookies I would sneak up on it and shoot it.

T: Lefty loosey, tighty righty. I got that from Chappy.

K: Now where are you, Mr. Mushroom? I have an appointment with you! To smush you!

Me: Here are two beautiful egg-in-a-holes, James.

J: Well, they are beautiful but I wouldn't put them down in the record books or anything.
